WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL ALSO JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT MOVE. SOMETIMES THEY DON'T EVEN COME ON, AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN THEM OFF THEY KEPT ON RUNNING. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE. THE RECALL THAT CHEVY HAS ISSUED IS FOR 94' BUT THEY TELL ME THAT MINE DOESN'T FALL WITHIN THE VIN # THAT THEY ARE RECALLING. THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITHIN A MONTH OR SO WHEN WE HAVE SNOW BECAUSE RAIN DOESN'T WORK FOR THAT. I HAVE CALLED CHEVY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS DAILY FROM PEOPLE WHO OWN 94 VEHICLES WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS BUT ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THEIR VIN #'S. *LA
